Man wheres the money tree when you need it. 
$2.20 here a gallon, man I wonder what it will be when I get this car. I'll probably save a safe 5k by the time I get the car ( 1 year or so) 3-4k for insurance(18yr old?), and 1k for a year of gas.

Boomer and Dan are probably gonna kick me in the junk when they read this..
I am in the job hunt, if I find a job where I gotta drive a considerable distance to work, say over 40 minutes, I probably won't buy a mustang as a daily driver... the way i drive I will pay through my teeth for gas, and it is not exciting to rack up mileage chugging through rush hour traffic.... if it is a drive through the countryside, where I will be grinning ear to ear, great... otherwise for a long commute I would get myself something like a TDI.. please don't kick me :flame2:

Gas is no reason not to buy a Mustang. Considering how largely impractical they are for a lot of people, gas is nothing. It's easy to cut out a trip to the dairy queen, cable, or God-forbid walk somewhere in order to save gas.
Not only that if gas goes up to $50, (exagerration) or whatever astronomical rate, five to ten more mpg isn't going to make a grand difference. At least to me. I'm in college, not on scholarship, and not working during the semester, im buying a 00' Gt. If you want something, somewhere somehow you have to sacrifice for it.

Just btw: the reason why gas prices are so high at the moment (incredibly high here in Germany... 5.5US$ per Gallon) is that holiday seasons have started in the U.S. and the old American refineries can't produce enough fuel, so gas companies have to buy in Europe, which raises prices. You better sell your SUVs and buy cars with better fuel economy

The news channels are all blaming it on terrorist attacks in the middle east.
